On Saturday, His Eminence Joseph Cardinal Tobin, C.Ss.R., Archbishop of Newark, New Jersey, ordained the Colleges newest alumnus priest, Rev. Patrick Seo (06). The ordination took place at Newarks Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart, with several alumni on hand to witness the blessed event.

My dear brothers, you have not chosen Jesus; our Risen Lord has cFr. Seohosen you to go forth and bear fruit that will remain, and his fellow new priests. I thank each of you for saying yes to that call. I thank each of you also for all the times you will say yes in the days to come. Most of these yeses you will pronounce secretly, in ways only the Lord knows about. I thank you for saying yes to giving your life in union with Jesus, the chief Shepherd, for in this offering is found the treasure of every priest, the pure source of our joy.

The next morning Fr. Seo offered his first Mass at the Dominican Monastery of Our Lady of the Rosary in Summit, New Jersey. His classmate Steve Six (06) graciously provided the photo to the left of Fr. Seo delivering his homily. Fr. Seo is the Colleges 68th alumnus priest. Thanks be to God!
